LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2020

Why do they make custard doughnuts????
Nobody buys them.
Similarly apple ones.

 

Towards the end of day when bread and cakes get reduced to 90% (then 99%) off, the majority of doughnuts left unsold are the jam ones.

 

It certainly is when numerous (cheap) products are becoming unavailable on the shelves instore, and you then get more expensive stuff substituted for no additional charge.

 

Not round here they aint
I used to buy doughnut to take to work the next day, only apple and custard were left.

 

Well, if you don't like the custard and apple doughnuts, please send them here. i'll eat them

 

Dozens and dozens of custard tarts left unsold and reduced to clear around here, and they just keep on producing more than people want.

 

And that's after they would have made 80% jam, 10% apple and 10% custard..
Doughnuts are made for Jam!
I wouldn't want a custard victoria sponge either.
Now then, on Rhubarb crumble it comes into it's own.

 

If you make rhubarb gin, when you bottle the "gin" save the fruit and crumble from it. The rhubarb has lost water to the gin/sugar mix and remains a lot firmer on cooking as well as having picked up some of the gin flavour. Cream rather than custard, for me, it's easier.

 

Hmmm, now I'm wondering what how the saying, Dollars to Doughhnuts !

There are only three ways I'll intake fruit. Pie/tarts, doughnuts, or wine! Not even in ice cream. Blech! Ooops Edit: I will eat marmalade...

Moan: Had to water the gardens today and angry that I let things get so dry. The weather guys lied about last night's rain, today's rain and I bet tomorrow's won't happen!

 

How times have changed.. Once you'd go to the greengrocer, spuds first in the bag, then carrits & onion, cabbage or greens. In season root veg. Then perhaps toms or salad stuff. Next the grocers, eggs, fats, bacon, perhaps bisquits, spam. On top of the bag would go a loaf, usually a bloomer. Then perhaps passing the fishmonger, some sprats or whatever you could afford.
When first married, I did my back in. Typical works remarks. I would have tea/dinner ready for Val. Rolled stuffed breast of lamb sixpence to one and six each, plus veg assortment. Liver & bacon cassarole was a favourite. Nowadays one shopping bag is not enough. A trolly load many bags and loads of packaging. Ooops! sorry for wandering off track. Sat Nav....not working.

 

On the matter of public toilets. These basically were closed down due to the activities of some. Also to for councils to pay an attendant became a no go. I can tell you a story about the loos at Charring Cross station. Having to make use of the gents, on my way home from late duty. A hand appeared under the partition with a scrap of paper. 'Share my loo with me'. I was first out and when chummy appeared, I welcomed him with. You're nicked. Made my day.

However for some folk these closures have meant hell. This is true. At the local B&Q. A woman out with hubby, asked a member of staff ishe could use thier loo. Sorry. Staff Only. Scuse me, but I have a medical condition. Sorry NO. Sadly the poor woman couldn't hold back the forces of nature. The report stated, she did it where she stood. HOW embarrassing. It later transpired that, B&Q were one, if not the first to sign upto a provision to cater for people with disabilities. In this instance. The disibility is not visible. Yet it is a very serious condition. I know. I carry a card issued by the Crones & Colitus organisation. This includes IBS & IBD.

When debates have arisen on the matter of public toilets etc. The powers to be state. Victims of such complaints have the opportunity to enter any High St Store, or refreshment provider and make use of their custommer toilets. Can you imagine it. MacDonalds. O'i mate there's a que here. Sorry I need the loo. Why should businesses provide a service that the rate payers pay for.

 

Sounds like my T'other Half.

 

Just unpacked the new pond vacuum - it came in 3 boxes - the box containing the vacuum; a box containing the boxed vacuum and a box containing the boxed boxed vacuum.

I thought Amazon were bad:
